My brother

My brother has always, so it seemed, played in a band. He was going to be the next Rock and Roller. My mother did this stained glass of him and for him a few years back. He plays bass and still sits in when he can and plays small gigs around the area--Seattle-Ballard-Redmond-Woodinville. Also a pic of him in his heyday.

Pics of potato and the pea fields.
Potatos tops will be burned off and the potatoes left in the ground to finish and then harvested in Sept, October and even November. aren't potato flowers pretty.
The peas will be ready soon. Some fields before the others.
These are two of the biggest crops in the valley.

Random flowers in my garden

I will be away from my computer for about 5 days. Enjoy some of my garden flowers.

Eagle Nest

Here is an eagle's nest I photgraphed yesterday. The parent Eagle would rush to the nest--drop some food and go sit on the branch. The nest is in the lower left corner in the picture of the parent Eagle. It would happen so fast I wouldn't get a chance to take a picture. It was interesting to watch, though. The babies look full grown. Their backs are to me so they just look like lumps in the pic.
Click on the pics to enlarge tem and get a better view.

Red Poppy
